International AIDS day 2010 brought together two NGOs in Bejing for a snapshot of their outreach and intervention work. AIDES – of France, a militant, established NGO with various programmes helping those infected and affected while maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of their clients and Ark of Love, a Chinese NGO doing important outreach and support work, sometimes at the mercy of the government. Tougher terrain still ahead for the latter as the NGO climate in China is still running through spikes and troughs like the stock market. One could only hope that support for the seropositives or and their love ones attain the air of openness as shown in the two videos by AIDES below.
